Have you tried using pwd and ls to figure out what directory you're in and what's inside your current directory, respectively?
yeah ls returns nothing
Use the cd command (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cd_(command)) to change your directory, and use pwd and ls to verify where you are. Once the output of your ls command includes install.sh , and pwd tells you that you're in the directory of your cloned project, then you're in the right place. Now, that's when you can run chmod +x install.sh (it's a bit odd the instructions ask you to run chmod +x when ideally that file should have been set that way when the developers pushed up the file)
oh wait i got there but now it’s doing this
You're using Windows Powershell, which is not the same as MacOS's Unix Terminal, which your instructions specify
the macos thing is unrelated i’m sorry i left that in by accident
Windows should have an equivalent command as chmod. What chmod does is change the file executable permissions
Also, it doesn't look like you're in the right place since you're in your Downloads/ folder, and not in your cloned project
i was doing this on wsl before but it just does this
wait ok i’m here now i just have to get to that folder if anyone can help
You have to find the install.sh file yourself in that unzipped folder via the commands cd, pwd, and ls
Or use the find command: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-command-in-linux-with-examples/
